vudoodoodoo- thanks.

rx7goomba - i have but have not been necessary.

here are the pics of the radiator hoses.

 

how long did the whole project take??

and great job

 

about a month and some change because i ordered parts and supplies as i went along.

 

Hey KINETIK_FD3S do you have a pic showing clearance of you setup in the front? Something real low hopefully parallel with the bottom?

 

rotarypower101 - let me know if you need any more pics.

 

So i take it you could not get the plastic tray to fit back on with the clearance?? Or did you just leave it off so the raditator fans could flow better?

 

+1

BTW, i was the ******* that went 100mph and the backend broke out off the 15... i ment to do that

 

^
?

BackyardSog- i never tried to re-install the plastic undertray so im not sure if it still fits but it would block the flow of the fans if it did fit.

 

I've just done a custom V mount on mine, took it for its first drive since the rebuild and the inlet temps were 11degs and water temp at 87degs.

I havn't made any sheet metal ducting for the sides of the V yet so temps should fall even more once i do it.

I used a standard griffin rad and ebay IC which was re welded.

 

dimensions dimensions........

 

oh and great fab work..

 

amazing.

 

^
^ what dimensions?

thanks guys, i'm selling my v-mount setup soon to another forum member (currently M.I.A)
so i will be making a new one soon with different IC core, IC angle(maybe), IC routing and some crazy IC/hood ducting, hopefully you guys like the new setup, i plan on building a few v-mount kits to sell to help me purchase a new welder (miller syncrowave 250dx, damm thats one bad-*** machine!) so let me know if you are interested.

 

Wow, I was doing a little digging and this is amazing.

clean.

 

nice....so both of the rad hoses are modified to flow into then out of the top of the rad?? there both in the top end tank in this setup?(no longer top to bottom)

aluminum work is flaless

thanks fellas , i did a search looking for the picture of the radiator inlet to show someone and noticed this thread was recently back from dead, all the v-mount threads seem to re-surface every few months.

 

You should anodize the ducting black, but other than that great work!

 

not sure if i am looking at the pictures correctly, but wouldn't the fans be in danger of hitting rocks/stones on the road?

 

^ it'll be alright, the undertray goes back and covers it...

nice fab work... nice acquisition for this member

 

reviving.......... hey how did u extend the fan cables to reach? cut in the middle and extend/solder? the 2wires in the earlier pictures just look like plug and play extensions??

 

Makes me wanna fab up something too

 

Always enjoy rereading this thread, best fab work on a v-mount setup.

 

hey kinetik,

i am currently building the same vmount as you with the same brackets and i was curious if i could have the measurements for the pieces that hold the rad? it would be greatly appreciated pm me because your inbox is full

thanks in advance

 

kits looks great!
